…They embody the Michigan difference.” Dickinson said the team designed Electrum about one year ago and began construction in May. The team made aerodynamic changes in the nose and canopy areas of the car and added new solar cells and battery design.

…Mel Pearson spent the week leading into the series against Lake Superior State stressing that his team needed to get out to an early lead. The Lakers are a big, structured team and they are more than happy to sit back and defend if they get the lead early on.
